Be sure to copy and paste your posts

SharkE — Fri, 11 Oct 2019 13:29:06 GMT

Boards are getting wonky again. You try to send your posts and you wait nothing happens, so, you click back to the main forum to see if it went thru, if not, you have to retype and resend.

Now, I just copy and paste, so, I don't waste my time.

Unless I'm trying to respond to a question, my posts just are not that important. LOL

I copy and paste many of my posts. I like to know if one is poofed without explanation as though it never existed (which has happened, before the ink was dry, so to speak).

Mine always go through. I never go back to the main forum until it shows it's there. As long as I wait, it always goes through. I've never had a problem, although it is frustrating that it takes so long.

Mine always go through.

I don't write more than a sentence or two anyway. I wouldn't need to copy anything. LOL

Mine always go through but if I want to be sure and double check I don't bother to hit the back button, instead I just have another window open and hit refresh.

If it doesn't go through the first time I take it as a sign to re-read and re-think the value of my post.

Yes @SharkE Very frustrating and glad to know it's just another "Q" glitch and not my MacBook or Comcast wifi connection acting up this a.m.

I am technically challenged computerwise so i don't even know how copy and paste. Briefly I was able to post pics here once, thanks to a helpful soul here but then that didn't work anymore.

Often it appears not to have gone through but most times I check and it's there. The few times a post doesn't go through it is saved and the option to load or delete is there -no need to copy and paste from my experience.

@SharkE

Thanks for the heads up....

Before you copy and paste you can click your nickname and look on the right hand side to see if the post is there under Auto-Saved Drafts....and just click load and those saved drafts usually go through without any problems....

@Spurt is correct.

most things are saved as auto drafts anyways.

all you have to do is reload the message.

not having these issues at this time.

Usually figure I've been banned LOL

That's been my experience too.

And if for some reason one of my posts disappeared, I would probably just shrug it off.
